Cursor

Cursor is an AI-powered code editor built on top of VS Code that integrates large language models directly into the coding workflow. It allows developers to write, edit, and debug code by describing what they want in natural language, while maintaining full control over the codebase. Cursor is one of the leading tools in the AI-assisted development category, popular for its deep code context understanding and ability to make changes across multiple files simultaneously.

For non-developers, Cursor is less relevant than Claude Code — it's designed for people who already write code, not those who want to build without coding knowledge.
